The old tax was five dollars. it was never any less amount. and nobody ever complained of it. The chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means informs me that there was no request to strike it out when it was struck out. It went because it was in a group of internalrevenue taxes which were repealed as a group. It is manifest of the one hundred thousand -people who go abroad only nine thousand annually take passports. None of those from the great countries whence emigrants come to us get passports. Passports are only needed in Russia and Italy. In no other conntries in Europe do they need passports.
